VR Smart Grid is a full-featured Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, built on the classical grid trading strategy. The robot independently opens positions, manages them and closes them in parts, creating an efficient order grid that adapts to changing market conditions. Over 15 years of development, the EA has gone through thousands of variations and tests — it is the result of systematic refinement on real and demo accounts.

Intelligent Position Averaging
One of the key features of VR Smart Grid is multiple averaging modes, including smart and partial averaging. The robot analyzes the current market situation, splits positions into optimal parts and calculates the average closing price so that it is as close as possible to the current market price. This approach helps to manage the order grid flexibly and more effectively bring positions out of drawdown without the need to constantly monitor the chart.
Eight Position Management Methods
VR Smart Grid offers eight different algorithms for closing positions, including working with real and virtual Take Profit levels. The trader selects the appropriate method for current market conditions and trading style. This provides full control over exiting the grid without manual intervention.
Support for Any Financial Instruments
The robot works with Forex currency pairs, cryptocurrencies, CFDs, futures and precious metals. Its versatility allows you to test the strategy on different assets without limitations from the MetaTrader platform.
Flexible Position Size Calculation
VR Smart Grid offers several methods for automatic lot calculation: fixed lot, percentage of deposit, balance per minimum lot, or a fully manual sequence. Additionally, the robot can calculate lots using Martingale, Fibonacci, sum of extremes, or the sum of maximum and starting lot. You can also apply a multiplier to increase or decrease the calculated lots. This flexibility allows you to precisely manage the aggressiveness of trading.
Smart Adjustment of Distance Between Positions
The distance between orders in the grid can be set manually for each level or calculated automatically using one of several methods: fixed points, a modified ATR formula, percentage of price, difference between Bollinger Bands lines, difference between Donchian channel lines, or the average value of bars over a period. The robot can also gradually increase the distance or allow you to set a fully custom sequence of distances. This ensures adaptation to different levels of market volatility.
Trailing Stop and Position Protection
VR Smart Grid uses a trailing stop for profitable positions, automatically moving the Stop Loss into the profit zone as the price moves in a favorable direction. The robot supports classic trailing (fixed number of points), dynamic trailing (percentage of trend size), and manual mode. This allows you to protect profits while leaving room for further price movement.
Full Risk Control
You have full control over risk management: the distance between positions in the grid, the size of each position, the maximum number of open positions against the trend, and the maximum acceptable drawdown. The robot automatically takes broker commissions and swaps into account, reflecting the real situation in its calculations. You can set automatic closure of all positions when a specified profit or loss is reached and choose whether to continue trading or stop.
Trend and Counter-Trend Trading Modes
VR Smart Grid supports several trading modes: Long (only buy), Short (only sell), and Long & Short together (both sides). The robot can smoothly stop one side of trading while the other continues to operate, giving you maximum control over the strategy. “Smooth stop” modes allow the robot to close the entire order grid on one side before fully stopping.
Built-in Indicator Signals
VR Smart Grid can work with built-in signals from indicators: CCI, Donchian Channel, and Moving Average (double crossover). This helps the robot to choose entry points more accurately and confirm trading decisions. There is also the option to disable indicator signals and trade only using the grid logic, or to use custom signals from your own indicators via the terminal’s global variables.
Spread and Working Time Limits
The robot can stop trading if the spread exceeds the limit you set — this protects you from trading under low-liquidity conditions. You can set the start and end time for the EA so that it trades only during desired hours or sessions (for example, only during the European or American session).
Information Panel and Notifications
VR Smart Grid is equipped with a convenient information panel that displays current trading statistics directly on the terminal chart — all your open positions, average price, floating result and other important information. The robot supports notifications via Push messages to the MetaTrader mobile app, standard Alerts in the terminal, Email, and Telegram. You will not miss any important event.
Simple Configuration Even for Beginners
Despite its powerful functionality, VR Smart Grid is very easy to use. You do not need to be a programmer or a professional with many years of experience. The intuitive interface with detailed descriptions of every setting allows you to configure all necessary parameters in just a few minutes. There are recommended setting sets (SET files) for different trading styles.
Free Updates and Technical Support
You do not pay for each update — all improvements, fixes and new features are delivered free of charge. You have access to professional technical support from the author to solve any questions regarding configuration and usage. The EA’s author is a programmer with more than 15 years of experience in developing trading strategies.

Hello, The smart grid is a great EA. It has a great risk management capability and keeps up with the settings. This EA is great for sideways markets and need better risk management for long trends. I find this EA will have a significant DD for pairs with the JPY currencies with it, since these pairs tend to move a lot in trends, so here you will have to put your money risk management into use. If you are an experienced trader you will love this EA because you would have an easy time going through the setting and programming them. This EA is not a fit all pair money making machines! If you think so, it will draw down your account in a day! This EA is basically a BMW that runs perfectly on the dot but if someone crash this great car is most likely the driver rather than the BMW!! So if you want a great EA this is it! But take the time to learn how to use it and fall in love with it!! Several times I thought I had it all down! And a few days later or less, got my surprise, I had it all wrong! had to plan and start all over! Every time I tried I became better at it!I am glad all happened on a demo account! Your mind is your best partner or your biggest enemy! You are so anxious to make money that very often overlook the small details! And details matters so much in trading!
